"Fernco waxless toilet seal" - I used one the last time I pulled the
toilet. I will never fool around with the wax type again. For one
thing, the Fernco one is reuseable (on the same toilet) in that you
can pull the toilet and replace it without having to mess around with
the seal.

Amen to that. I had to replace a toilet and reinstall two others recently
and I used the Fernco seals. I will never go back to wax rings!

Why not? What is the advantage? My upstairs toilet has never been removed
in 30 years, my downstairs was replaced about 15 years ago and not touched
since. What would a different seal do for me that the wax is not? How
often do you guys remove your toilets?


My limited understanding is that the O-ring provides a better seal
from gases, compensates for an uneven flange/floor and seats in the
pipe. (Plus so simple a caveman could do it)
